UF Algorithm for Tastier Strawberries
Friday Apr 16th, 2021
News Reporter Developing taster fruit seems to be a never-ending process for some scientists. But thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, the perfect tasting strawberry may soon be a reality. This would be great news for Florida s $300 million a year strawberry industry.
Vance Whitaker, a UF/IFAS associate professor of horticultural sciences, has developed an algorithm that allows scientists to predict how a strawberry will taste. The data is based on the chemical constitution of its fruit. And takes much less time than a typical consumer taste-test panel.
Whitaker and his team used consumer volunteers as well as the new algorithm and found the volatiles they need to boost the strawberry s flavor.

Volunteer tasting panels have long been relied upon to guide decisions on which strawberries taste and smell best, and therefore should be bred for Florida s $300 billion crop.
Tasting panels and breeding for better taste have been around since agriculture began, and now a researchers at University of Florida are using a new approach to creating better berries. Artificial intelligence is now helping identify cultivars most likely to produce a berry consumers will love. Already having collected data from hundreds and hundreds of volunteer tasters, computers now help match the chemical component that creates aromas of sweetness and “strawberriness.”
Creating better strawberries using Artificial Intelligence
For decades, taste groups and breeding for better taste have existed, being relied upon to guide decisions on which strawberries taste and smell best. This would help steer the breeding requirements for Florida s $300 billion crop.
Now, researchers at the University of Florida are using a new method to create better berries. Artificial intelligence will be used to help determine the varieties that are most likely to produce the berries that consumers love. As data from hundreds of voluntary tasters has been collected, the AI can help match the chemical composition that produces the sweetness and the perfect strawberry aroma.
